Re: Gemas : failed to get the spellserver

[Patrick Cardona]

Hi Wolfgang,

I did this :
1) Install aspell-en to get the English dictionaries for aspell
2) Set the var LANG accordingly in a Terminal window :
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
3) Then, in the same context, I opened Gemas and tried to spellcheck the text :
And I got the same error :

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ opentool Gemas
